    The CPU is AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 ((Single Core) 1.60GHz/512KB L2 Cache/1.6GHz HT)

    Here is the comparison of Athlon Neo and Atom

    What is the battery life on this like?

    • andw on 19/04/2010 - 13:17

      Yes, I am wondering as well, no mention on site of battery size - really interested.

    • andw on 19/04/2010 - 13:17

      double post

    • bonbon on 19/04/2010 - 13:36

      yes, info on the estimated batt life will be good.

    • rakkie on 19/04/2010 - 13:44

      Reviews of the DV2 mention 2.5 hours of battery life, which is probably the reason COTD didn't mention it…

  • zango_tango_007 on 19/04/2010 - 13:21

    4 cell…not too good i think..

    • bonbon on 19/04/2010 - 13:25

      6 cells will be perfect

  • Lexsus on 19/04/2010 - 13:26

    battery size on this aint good yo .

    Still a pretty good deal for an ultraportable laptop.

    I don't think you can find a 12" CULV for less than this price.

  • mr_asstight on 19/04/2010 - 13:40

    low res. bad.

    • ironpaw on 19/04/2010 - 14:07

      LOL that resolution is the same as most consumer 14/15" laptops…I think its more than fine!

        His name is mr ass tight what do u expect.

  • tonyjzx on 19/04/2010 - 13:47

    the resolution is fine

    what's bad is that they are single core…

    also vista basic isn't too fun

    • scrimshaw on 19/04/2010 - 13:49

      But It's an ultraportable, they don't tend to have dual cores. Or unless you're talking about the new netbooks with dual core atoms, they also tend to be over $600 RRP.

  • Lexsus on 19/04/2010 - 14:19

    Okay let me get this straight for you guys.

    Small battery + High Definition = small hours of usage

  • onebee on 19/04/2010 - 14:29

    I have owned this before. short battery lift, hot, slow. not recommend.

  • Cluster on 19/04/2010 - 14:43

    I am really getting annoyed with manufacturers claiming 1280x800 or 1366x768 is "HD" as in "High Definition". That is the bog standard resolution fitted to wide screen laptops for the past 6 years.

    I went shopping for a laptop recently and was dismayed by the lack of true high definition laptops. There were no 15" models higher than 1280x800/1366x768 in JB Hifi, Dick Smiths, Myer, Harvey Norman and Officeworks.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/04/2010 - 14:51

    Seems like a really good value for what you pay. Are you sure it's 4 cell? The review I read says it's 6 cell.

    • sparkles on 19/04/2010 - 15:09

      TechBuy had this, that one says 4 cell.
      http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/125090/NOTEBOOKS_12.1/HP/VK004PA…

      The dimensions also seem quite a bit larger than the ultraportables you might see instore. Compared the measurements to my HP 2133 and it's quite alot bigger (like 7.5cm deeper!) although slimmer it seems.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/04/2010 - 15:21

        ooooh, shame.. I don't know why notebook manufacturers skimp on batteries :(

        • battler on 19/04/2010 - 15:35

          to keep the price down for the uninformed and to attract interest for others, who then upsize to a bigger battery for more $.

  • scrimshaw on 19/04/2010 - 15:52

    So its not worth buying? I have it added in cart. Very tempted to press checkout…

  • WalkerHarris on 19/04/2010 - 15:53

    i don't think its worth buying… save yourself and not regret later on.

    I'd rather save myself over couple hundreds and get a netbook with dualcore …

  • hello world on 19/04/2010 - 16:34

    How does this DV2 compare to the Gateway LT3003a ? should i get this DV2? or Gateway ? or acer aspire one 532h from JB hifi?

    in term of performance if i just want to use it for word processing, excel, maaybe light internet browsing and watching TV series using media player classic?

    dont need anything fancy like high res etc2

    just want budget netbook :)

    thanks

  • fenrer on 19/04/2010 - 16:51

    Its a good buy, res is just enough, apparently the battery can be extended using under voltage, gets another 1/2 hour and well you really need win7 for this one.
    Most reviews say it performs better then atom (even the dual core), but then they review the US version without the gimped graphics card.

    Took the plunge despite COTD doesn't talk about the HDMI plug despite it being on every version i've seen online as well as in the picture…

  • ls000 on 19/04/2010 - 17:34

    I can't find the option B of this deal on COTD…

    • lok2012 on 19/04/2010 - 17:39

  • lok2012 on 19/04/2010 - 20:32

    I am looking for a netbook, any suggestion?

    http://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers/acer/10-inch-netbook-sku-…

    Is $367 10% off already?
    or $367*0.9-$39 =$291????????????????

  • sparkles on 19/04/2010 - 21:52

    It's all sold out now. Thank gawd, I've been tempted to buy this all day.

  • fenrer on 22/04/2010 - 09:42

    anyone get an email of dispatchment?? its been 4 days and no word, my god I can receive a shipment from the states in this time…

  • lok2012 on 25/04/2010 - 20:04

    Waiting….forever :(

  • euro1011 on 30/04/2010 - 12:25

    Has anyone who ordered this notebook received it yet?
    I placed an order on the 19/04/2010 and the status on COTD still says 'Processing'. Seem to take quite long. Does anyone know what's the cause of the delay?

    • lok2012 on 30/04/2010 - 17:20

      Just got a email - "Your Order 1045711 Has Been Dispatched"
